Date Set For First Same-Sex Marriages In United Kingdom

For those of you looking to get hitched across the pond, it's time to set a wedding date!

The UK's Women and Equalities Minister Maria Miller announced today that same-sex weddings in England and Wales will begin starting March 29, 2014!

Miller says:

"Marriage is one of our most important institutions, and from 29 March 2014 it will be open to everyone, irrespective of whether they fall in love with someone of the same sex or opposite sex.

"This is just another step in the evolution of marriage and I know that many couples up and down the country will be hugely excited that they can now plan for their big day and demonstrate their love and commitment to each other by getting married."

If you'd like to be one of the first UK couples to marry, give your formal notice by March 13.
